    IMD also predicted a substantial downpour when Cyclone Mandous crosses the coast between Sriharikota and Puducherry on December 9 at midnight

    The India Meteorological Department (IMD) released an alert for the coastal areas of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Puducherry (Union Territory) on Thursday morning as the depression over the southeast and southwest of the Bay of Bengal intensified into a cyclonic story. IMD also predicted a substantial downpour when Cyclone Mandous crosses the coast between Sriharikota and Puducherry on December 9 at midnight.

    The low-pressure zone over the southeast Bay of Bengal turned into a depression on December 6. This then intensified into a "deep depression" and was approximately 750 km away from Chennai as of Wednesday. In its Thursday bulletin, the weather body stated that the cyclonic storm over the southwest of the Bay of Bengal was around 500 kilometers from east-southeast Karaikal.
